      Or that more people fantasise about being a cowboy than (for instance) a sewage worker…

        Haha… Worrying thought.

          I think certain colors and patterns on a shirt, or the lack thereof, lends itself better to being a work or western design. It's also contingent on the person wearing the shirt. For example, I had a difficult time conceiving that the turquoise/grey buffalo (that was recalled) would look as good, on me, in a western. So I bought a work… and will do so again when the new iteration arrives.

          It's all aesthetic preference, nothing set in stone. Maybe it is simply such that westerns fit more people better, or that more people think westerns look better on them.

          Good point. It struck me that the 106's and 105's (both if which I own and adore) would have been even better as work shirts. Something about the functionality of quilting and the thickness, as well as the material. I don't own any buffalo check UHF yet, but when I do I'll cop a workshirt. That was also my plan with the T/G. On the other hand, I do love snaps….

            I'm all for the western shirts due to the yokes and the snaps.  I have a lot of regular shirts with buttons from before I discovered Iron Heart.

            With that said, there are a few materials that work better as a work shirt than a western.  Example being the IHSH-96 indigo waffle.  Can't see that being a good western shirt.

              How about a workshirt style with western fit? Of course with snaps!

                I prefer generally the 'western' versions.
                Apart from the gorgeous look and the practical snap pockets - I noticed over the years that they have the better fit by comparison.
                I hate the baggy look of my -68 shirt (otherwise so beautiful  😠 ) and from the other 'work'-shirts, which I tried in my usual size.

                      It does not matter if you are a worker or a cowboy, in porn everyone gets the girl 😛

                        Well, yes, but the plumber genre is more significant I think.
                        Work shirts all the way.

                                Trinity would wear Iron heart western shirts.
                                He could take Mario easily.

                                      "…we find a lot of really nice deadstock stuff, so we bought a shitload of deadstock selvedge, 6oz chambray recently. We found a lot of really nice indigo dyed hickory striped recently. In both cases we bought everything available.

                                      So, the ... the deadstock stuff, it's great...

                                      We are releasing a shirt in a couple of weeks that we do buy the fabric in for and you can find other articles made of the same fabric if you try hard enough. But the fabric is so good that, personally, I don't mind."

                                          I think I may well have just sorted out our lack of rucsack/holdall issue.

                                          Samples being made, should see them in 4 weeks…..

                                          Are you willing to share any more details?
